2025 Philipsburg Local Highlights Option - 4 Hours - Provided by Project Expedition

Guests will enjoy a pre-arranged sightseeing itinerary with a Private Car and Guide to explore the following destination highlights.

Your adventure begins in the heart of Philipsburg, where you’ll explore the lively Great Bay Beach and stroll the Boardwalk, lined with colorful shops, beachfront cafes, and island vibes. Next, step back in time at Fort Amsterdam, a historic 17th Century fort perched above the bay offering sweeping views and a glimpse into the island’s colonial past.

As we leave town, we’ll head up to the Cole Bay Hill viewpoint, a must-stop for panoramic photos overlooking Simpson Bay Lagoon and the neighboring islands. Then it’s off to the world-famous Maho Beach, where you can witness planes soaring just overhead as they land at Princess Juliana International Airport—a truly unforgettable sight.

The tour continues to the French side of the island with a quick stop in Marigot, a charming seaside town known for its open-air market, French-Caribbean culture, and relaxed atmosphere. On our return to Philipsburg, we’ll take the scenic coastal road through Oyster Pond, offering a peaceful drive with beautiful ocean views.

Tour can be scheduled to start at either 8:00am or 12:30pm.

  • Private Luxury Sedan with English-Speaking guide and driver for 4 hours
  • Entrance fees for listed sights
  • Bottled water in the vehicle
